Trigger Point Therapy

---

Trigger point therapy is a specialized form of massage that offers powerful relief from chronic muscle pain. Trigger points are hypersensitive "knots" within muscles that can cause localized pain and even refer pain to other areas of your body. These tough spots often feel like a small pea or marble buried within the muscle tissue.

• Locating the Source: Your therapist will assess your pain patterns and palpate your muscles to identify the specific trigger points contributing to your discomfort.
• Targeted Pressure: The therapist applies sustained pressure directly to the trigger point, often eliciting a brief sensation of discomfort, followed by a "release" and reduction in pain.
• Breaking the Cycle: Trigger point therapy disrupts the pain signaling between your muscles and nervous system, leading to lasting relief.
• Improved Blood Flow: The increased circulation to the area helps promote healing and reduce muscle tension.

• Chronic neck and back pain
• Headaches and migraines
• Sports injuries and overuse syndromes
• Sciatica
• Fibromyalgia
• Repetitive strain injuries (like carpal tunnel)
• Jaw pain (TMJ)

Our therapists are skilled in trigger point therapy and will integrate it into your massage based on your individual needs. While trigger point release can be intense, most people ultimately find it deeply satisfying as stubborn pain patterns begin to melt away.  Let us help you discover the transformative power of this targeted approach to pain relief.
